This review is from: The Papers of Joseph Henry, Vol. 12: Cumulative Index (Hardcover)

The Papers of Joseph Henry, Volume 12: Cumulative Index is the final volume in the exhaustive "Papers of Joseph Henry" reference series, which collects the many original writings of Joseph Henry when he made a scientific name for himself in the 1800's and established the Smithsonian Institution, and survived the Civil War, all while advocating the virtues of philanthropy, history, and scientific thinking. As a cumulative index, Volume 12 consists entirely of 300+ pages of alphabetical entries, each listing in which pages of what volumes a given topic appears. An extremely handy and easy-to-use reference, Volume 12 is a must-have for libraries, universities, and private scholars who already possess volumes 1-11 of this seminal series.
